Now im at a stage when i feel very stressed,very burdened,thoughtful,sad..IDK.Everything has back to the beggining and even worse..So much dark thoughts goes through my mind im so scared u dont know..I think the Lord is trying to help me and i love him for that,but its just not the same.I've been so thoughful,so stress,I feel alot of fear in my soul,hardly sleep,sometimes i feel no interest in life idk...I love the lord and i dont reject him as my savior,but its hard..I dont know.Sometimes i sin and i feel very guilty for it...soon i learned that once u are saved,ur sins are forgiven,u just have to repent not to do this anymore..Ive read in forums that u dont have to trust ur feelings,that once u are saved and believed in the name of the Lord,and u confess that he is the Saviour,u are saved forever(Once saved always Saved).Somehow i believe this but i dont know.Ive been so sad for the last moth and more,i see people soo happy but that im not..Sometimes the thoughts that pass my mind is that they are so happy because they can sin and nothing can happen,they can do whatever they want to do,that they have more privilege to be happy than ME cuz they can do whatever they want and have no guilt for them cuz they dont know the thruh.Somehow i was jelous,but i dont want too..My family sees my situation and dont give me to read the Bible,go to church and things like that cuz they think that this dosent help me ,it only makes me feel bad.Everybody tells me how thoughtful i am,that i dont have
self-esteem,to stop read this etc..Its hard i dont know what to do i feel very condemned already IDK..ITs hard for 20 year CHristian to give up so many things in life for Christ..I want it but its hard,i need time,i think that u have to give it up at the right moment u accept Christ...Things like this..It says u cannot serve 2 masters,u have only 1 IDK..IT's so hard...IM so burdened,i pray alot,but im still at the before accepting Christ even worse,im not the same person...I believe i was saved..and im sure im 100% saved,i dont know what to do..Can anybody help?I am ready to avoid any sexual immorality(Like masturbation..etc)After I recieved Jeesus,for 2 moths i only did masturbate 3 times,and 1 was because of depress and soul fear..Partys,drunkess,i do not like,i do not like pride,lusts,money etc i really give up thoose things idk i feel the same way ....PLease helP!I cannot find peace so long

DGU, your post is a very honest one. You are on a journey...The feelings of elation on finding the Lord and giving your life to Him actually only last a week or so, it is God wrapping His arms around you, welcoming you home, these feelings don't last forever - and good thing too, we can't walk around forever with our heads in the clouds, we wouldn't be able to function in a normal way. It's a little like the rush of first love - it doesn't nor can it last forever. Now your journey truly begins as The Holy Spirit gets to work in changing you but you have to want that change too, you work together with The Holy Spirit as the change begins from within. You cannot be the end result at the beginning it's a work in progress. Keep in constant contact with God through prayer and His word. If there are issues then pray about them...until the change begins.

Yes you are saved, I'm not sure if I believe in once saved always saved (as many do here) but I believe you are saved until you walk away and reject God for sure! While you feel the way you do now you are not rejecting God but you are wanting to change. Don't be confused, you are saved by the blood of Jesus. Whatever issues you may have and however bad they seem to you they have already been forgiven - it's a promise and there is no room for confusion. Do you think you are the only one who is sinful? No we all for short, even though some may say they don't I am sceptical of this. From time to time we all sin, as for you a new Christian it is normal.

Take it to God in prayer and it may help for you to find a church for encouragement and fellowship. God bless you.

I agree with the first poster. Alot of Christians feel this way. I've been through it. We have the joy of the Holy spirit because we're litterally born again. It's litterally like a new born a new born baby feels+acts different than a baby who is a few weeks old. Same goes for the parents. In fact that's a better analogy. Try to think of it like this. When a woman has a baby the moment she looks into her new child's eyes she instantly falls in love. But then a few weeks later when the baby is crying all the time amd she is stressed she still loves that child but its not the same as that first moment. But here's the good thing, like a child your relationship in Christ will grow you'll get past this temporary hurdle if you just stick close to God and nurture the relationship and with time and growing closer to God your relationship will truly develop more and more with Him. You'll mature in it. Read your Bible daily because it really makes you feel conmected to God. Don't give up. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. The devil does this to new christians all the time He attacks them as soon as they're new christiams because that's when they're vulnerable. Don't worry though, God will guide you. Read about Elijah in the Bible. He was a very very Godly prophet and He went through depression. In fact He was so depressed He didn't wanna live anymore. But guess what? God sent Him an angel and Gave Him Food and rest and He met with Him Personally. God is with you. God said "This is my command; Be strong and courageous do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord thy God is with you wherever you may go." "Don't be afraid for I am with you. Don't be discouraged for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My Victorious Right Hand. Isaiah 41:10" We're most emotionally and spirtually vulnerable after a great victory and you just had the greatest victory of all. You accepted Jesus into your Heart. So don't worry. It's okay. And I'll pray for you. If you need to talk I'm here.
